58    Sealed Air – 3rd A&R Syndicated Facility Agt





avoidance of doubt, shall be required on the date of the consummation of any Limited Condition Acquisition)) has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom; or (iii) testing availability under each “basket”, ratio calculation or similar provision set forth in the Loan Documents (including without limitation baskets measured as a percentage of consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Net Tangible Assets); in each case, at the option of the Company (the Company’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Acquisition, an “LCA Election”), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted under the Loan Documents, shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into (the “LCA Test Date”), and if, on a Pro Forma Basis after giving effect to the Limited Condition Acquisition and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent Test Period ending prior to the LCA Test Date, the Borrower could have taken such action on the relevant LCA Test Date in compliance with such “baskets”, ratio calculations or similar provisions, such “baskets”, ratio calculations or similar provisions shall be deemed to have been complied with. For the avoidance of doubt, if any Borrower has made an LCA Election for any Limited Condition Acquisition and any of the “baskets”, ratio calculations or similar provisions for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCA Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Assets of the Borrower or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Acquisition or any applicable currency exchange rate, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets, ratios, metrics or thresholds will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining compliance of the relevant transaction or action with such provisions, baskets or thresholds. If any Borrower has made an LCA Election for any Limited Condition Acquisition, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or “basket” availability on or following the relevant LCA Test Date and prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated or (ii) the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated until such time as the Limited Condition Acquisition has been consummated or the definitive agreement with respect thereto has been terminated or expires.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Company or Required Lenders notify the Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to the Company) that the Company or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:
(a)    adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period, including, without limitation, because the LIBOR Screen Rate (or other applicable screen rate) is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or


59    Sealed Air – 3rd A&R Syndicated Facility Agt





(b)    the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate (or other applicable screen rate) or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which LIBOR (or other Eurocurrency Rate) or the LIBOR Screen Rate (or other applicable screen rate) shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”), or 
(c)    syndicated loans currently being executed, or that include language similar to that contained in this Section, are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace LIBOR (or such other Eurocurrency Rate),
then, reasonably promptly after such determination by the Agent or receipt by the Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Agent and the Company may amend this Agreement to replace LIBOR (or such other Eurocurrency Rate) with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein) (any such proposed rate, a “Eurocurrency Successor Rate”), together with any proposed Eurocurrency Successor Rate Conforming Changes and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the fifth Business Day after the Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Company unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Agent written notice that such Required Lenders do not accept such amendment.
If no Eurocurrency Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause (a) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), the Agent will promptly so notify the Company and each Lender.  Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Advances using such Eurocurrency Rate shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Eurocurrency Rates, Eurocurrency Rate Advances or Interest Periods), and (y) with respect to a discontinuation of LIBOR, the Eurocurrency Rate component shall no longer be utilized in determining the Base Rate.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Company or any other Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Advances (to the extent of the affected Eurocurrency Rates, Eurocurrency Rate Advances or Interest Periods) or, failing that, in the case of (I) any request denominated in Dollars will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a committed Borrowing of Base Rate Advance (subject to the foregoing clause (y)) in the amount specified therein and in the case of a request denominated in any other LIBOR Quoted Currency or (II) any request denominated in any Committed Currency other than Dollars will be deemed to have been converted to a request for a committed Borrowing of Base Rate Advance in an Equivalent amount of Dollars.
Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of Eurocurrency Successor Rate shall provide that in no event shall such Eurocurrency Successor Rate be less than zero for purposes of this Agreement.

Within the limits of the Swing Line Sublimit and within the limits referred to in clause (ii) above, the Company may borrow under this 2.01(d), prepay pursuant to Section 2.11 and reborrow under this Section 2.01(d). 
(e)    Letters of Credit.  Each Issuing Bank agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to issue multicurrency letters of credit (each, a “Letter of Credit”) for the account of any Multicurrency Revolver Borrower under the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until 30 days before the Termination Date applicable to the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility under clause (a)(i) of the definition of “Termination Date” (i) in an aggregate Available Amount (by reference to the Equivalent thereof in Dollars determined on the date of delivery of the applicable Notice of Issuance) for all Letters of Credit not to exceed at any time the Letter of Credit Sublimit, (ii) in an amount (by reference to the Equivalent thereof in Dollars determined on the date of delivery of the applicable Notice of Issuance) for each Issuing Bank not to exceed the amount of such Issuing Bank’s Letter of Credit Commitment at such time, (iii) in an amount (by reference to the Equivalent thereof in Dollars determined on the date of delivery of the applicable Notice of Issuance) for each such Letter of Credit not to exceed an amount equal to the aggregate Unused Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments of the Multicurrency Revolving Lenders at such time and (iv) issued to provide support with respect to the undertakings of the Company and/or any Subsidiaries.  Each Letter of Credit shall be in an amount equal to the Equivalent of $500,000 or more and may be denominated in any Multicurrency Committed Currency.  No Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date (including all rights of such Borrower or the beneficiary to require renewal) of greater than one year or later than the Termination Date applicable to the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility under clause (a)(i) of the definition of “Termination Date”; provided that any Letter of Credit which provides for automatic one‐year extension(s) of such expiration date shall be deemed to comply with the foregoing requirement if the Issuing Bank has the unconditional right to prevent any such automatic extension from taking place.  Within the limits referred to above, any Multicurrency Revolver Borrower under the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility may request the issuance of Letters of Credit under this Section 2.01(e), repay any Advances resulting from drawings thereunder pursuant to Section 2.03(c) and request the issuance of additional Letters of Credit under this Section 2.01(e).  If a Letter of Credit shall be requested on behalf of a Subsidiary that is not a Multicurrency Revolver Borrower hereunder, the Company shall have furnished to the Issuing Bank, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank, customary “know your customer” information regarding such Subsidiary at least three Business Days prior to the date of the requested issuance.  Each “Existing Letter of Credit” listed on Schedule 2.01(e) shall be deemed to constitute a Letter of Credit issued hereunder, and each Lender that is an issuer of such a Letter of Credit shall, for purposes of Section 2.03, be deemed to be a Issuing Bank for each such letter of credit, provided that any renewal or replacement of any such letter of credit shall be issued by a Issuing Bank pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.  The terms “issue”, “issued”, “issuance” and all similar terms, when applied to a Letter of Credit, shall include any renewal, extension or amendment thereof. 
(f)    Incremental Advances.  Each Lender having an Incremental Term Commitment or an Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment agrees, on the terms and 


63    Sealed Air – 3rd A&R Syndicated Facility Agt





conditions set forth in the applicable Incremental Assumption Agreement, to make Incremental Term Advances to the Company and/or Incremental Revolving Credit Advances to the Borrowers, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed its Incremental Term Commitment or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment, as the case may be.
SECTION 2.02    Borrowing Mechanics.  
(a)    Each Term Borrowing and each Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be made upon the applicable Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Agent.  Each such notice must be received by the Agent not later than (I) 12:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of any proposed Borrowing consisting of Eurocurrency Rate Advances denominated in Dollars, (II) 12:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the fourth Business Day prior to the date of any proposed Borrowing consisting of Eurocurrency Rate Advances denominated in any Foreign Currency, and (III) 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date of the proposed Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Advances, and the Agent shall then give to each Lender prompt notice thereof by telecopier.  Each such notice shall be given by telephone or by Notice of Borrowing; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Agent of a Notice of Borrowing. Each such notice (whether written or telephonic) shall specify the (i) applicable Borrower, (ii) applicable Facility, (iii) date of such Borrowing, (iv) Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing, (v) aggregate amount of such Borrowing, (vi) in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurocurrency Rate Advances, the initial Interest Period for such Advance, and (vii) currency for each such Advance; provided, that the applicable Borrower shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing that, if made, would result in more than fifteen different Interest Periods being in effect hereunder at any one time.  Each Lender shall before 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing, in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Advances denominated in Dollars and, not later than the Applicable Time specified by the Agent in the case of any Borrowing in any Foreign Currency, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Agent at the applicable Agent’s Account, in same day funds, such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing.  After the Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower requesting the applicable Borrowing at the address and in the account of such Borrower specified in the applicable Notice of Borrowing. 
(b)    Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made on notice, given not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing by the applicable Borrower to the Swing Line Bank and the Agent, of which the Agent shall give prompt notice to the Lenders.  Each such notice of a Swing Line Borrowing shall be given by telephone or by Notice of Swing Line Borrowing; provided that any telephonic notice must be, confirmed promptly by delivery to the Agent of a Notice of Swing Line Borrowing.  Each such notice (whether written or telephonic) shall specify the requested (i) date of such Borrowing, (ii) amount of such Borrowing and (iii) maturity of such Borrowing (which maturity shall be no later than the earlier of (A) the tenth Business Day after the requested date of such Borrowing and (B) the Termination Date applicable to the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility under clause (a) of the definition of “Termination Date” (the “Swing Line Advance Maturity Date”)).  The Swing Line Bank shall, before 3:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date of such Swing Line Borrowing, make such Swing Line Borrowing 


64    Sealed Air – 3rd A&R Syndicated Facility Agt





available to the Agent at the Agent’s Account, in same day funds.  After the Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the Agent will make such funds available to the applicable Borrower at the address and in the account of such Borrower specified in the applicable Notice of Swing Line Borrowing.  Upon written demand by the Swing Line Bank, with a copy of such demand to the Agent, each other Multicurrency Revolving Lender will purchase from the Swing Line Bank, and the Swing Line Bank shall sell and assign to each such other Multicurrency Revolving Lender, such other Multicurrency Revolving Lender’s Ratable Share of such outstanding Swing Line Advance, by making available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Agent for the account of the Swing Line Bank, by deposit to the Agent’s Account, in same day funds, an amount equal to its Ratable Share of such Swing Line Advance.  Each Borrower hereby agrees to each such sale and assignment.  Each Multicurrency Revolving Lender agrees to purchase its Ratable Share of an outstanding Swing Line Advance on (i) the Business Day on which demand therefor is made by the Swing Line Bank, provided that notice of such demand is given not later than 12:00 P.M. (New York City time) on such Business Day or (ii) the first Business Day next succeeding such demand if notice of such demand is given after such time.  Upon any such assignment by the Swing Line Bank to any other Multicurrency Revolving Lender of a portion of a Swing Line Advance, the Swing Line Bank represents and warrants to such other Multicurrency Revolving Lender that the Swing Line Bank is the legal and beneficial owner of such interest being assigned by it, but makes no other representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to such Swing Line Advance, this Agreement, the Notes or the Borrowers.  If and to the extent that any Multicurrency Revolving Lender shall not have so made its Ratable Share of such Swing Line Advance available to the Agent, such Multicurrency Revolving Lender agrees to pay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such Multicurrency Revolving Lender is required to have made such amount available to the Agent until the date such amount is paid to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.  If such Multicurrency Revolving Lender shall pay to the Agent such amount for the account of the Swing Line Bank on any Business Day, such amount so paid in respect of principal shall constitute a Swing Line Advance made by such Multicurrency Revolving Lender on such Business Day for purposes of this Agreement, and the outstanding principal amount of the Swing Line Advance made by the Swing Line Bank shall be reduced by such amount on such Business Day.
(c)    Anything in subsection (a) above to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) after giving effect to all Term A Borrowings and Sterling Term A Borrowings, there shall not be more than five Interest Periods in effect in respect of either the Term A Facility or Sterling Term A Facility and (ii) after giving effect to all Revolving Credit Borrowings, there shall not be more than (A) five Interest Periods in effect in respect of the Transpacific Revolving Credit Facility and (B) ten Interest Periods in effect in respect of the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility.
(d)    Each Notice of Borrowing and Notice of Swing Line Borrowing of any Borrower shall be irrevocable and binding on such Borrower.  In the case of any Borrowing that the related Notice of Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of Eurocurrency Rate Advances, the Borrower requesting such Borrowing shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in such Notice of Borrowing for such Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, including, without limitation, any loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason 


65    Sealed Air – 3rd A&R Syndicated Facility Agt





of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Borrowing when such Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date.
(e)    Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the time of any Borrowing under the applicable Revolving Credit Facility that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing under the applicable Revolving Credit Facility, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Agent on the date of such Borrowing under the applicable Revolving Credit Facility in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.02 and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower requesting such Borrowing under the applicable Revolving Credit Facility on such date a corresponding amount.  If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion available to the Agent, such Lender agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount.  If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Agent’s demand therefor, the Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower and such Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Agent.  The Agent shall also be entitled to receive from such Lender or such Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount, for each day from the date such amount is made available to such Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent, at (i) in the case of such Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to Advances comprising such Borrowing under the applicable Revolving Credit Facility and (ii) in the case of such Lender, (A) the Federal Funds Rate in the case of Advances denominated in Dollars or (B) the cost of funds incurred by the Agent in respect of such amount in the case of Advances denominated in Committed Currencies or other Foreign Currencies.  If such Lender shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Advance as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.
(f)    The failure of any Lender to make the Advance to be made by it as part of any Borrowing or to make the Swing Line Advance to be made by it as part of any Swing Line Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Advance on the date of such Borrowing or to prejudice any rights which any Borrower may have against any Lenders as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.  No Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Advance to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.
(g)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Lender at its option may make any Advances by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Advances through any Applicable Lending Office; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the applicable Borrower to repay such Advances in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Unless the context otherwise requires, each reference to a Lender shall include its Applicable Lending Office.
SECTION 2.03    Issuance of and Drawings and Reimbursement Under Letters of Credit. 


66    Sealed Air – 3rd A&R Syndicated Facility Agt





(a)    Request for Issuance.  Each Letter of Credit issued under the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility shall be issued upon notice (a “Notice of Issuance”), given not later than 12:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed issuance of such Letter of Credit (or on such shorter notice as the applicable Issuing Bank may agree) or 12:00 P.M. (Sydney, Australia time) on the fourth Business Day prior to the date of the proposed issuance of such Letter of Credit if denominated in AU$, by any Multicurrency Revolver Borrower under the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility to any Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank shall give the Agent prompt notice thereof by facsimile, following its receipt of a Notice of Issuance from the applicable Borrower; provided that any Letter of Credit requested pursuant to this Agreement may state or indicate that the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is the “Account Party”, “Applicant”, “applicant”, “Requesting Party” or any similar designation.  Each such Notice of Issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be initially made by telephone, confirmed promptly thereafter in writing or by facsimile, and shall specify therein the requested (A) date of such issuance (which shall be a Business Day), (B) Available Amount of such Letter of Credit, (C) [reserved], (D) the Committed Currency in which such Letter of Credit is to be denominated, (E) expiration date of such Letter of Credit (which shall not be later than the earlier of five Business Days prior to the scheduled Termination Date of the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility (under clause (a)(i) of the definition of “Termination Date”) or one year after the date of issuance thereof; provided that any Letter of Credit which provides for automatic one‐year extension(s) of such expiration date shall be deemed to comply with the foregoing requirement if the Issuing Bank has the unconditional right to prevent any such automatic extension from taking place after such scheduled Termination Date), (F) name and address of the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, and (G) form of such Letter of Credit, and shall be accompanied by such customary application and agreement for issuance of letters of credit as such Issuing Bank may specify to the Borrower requesting such issuance for use in connection with such requested Letter of Credit (a “Letter of Credit Agreement”).  If the requested form of such Letter of Credit is acceptable to such Issuing Bank in its sole discretion (and, for the avoidance of doubt, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue any Letter of Credit other than a standby letter of credit unless such Issuing Bank agrees in its sole discretion), such Issuing Bank will, upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.02, make such Letter of Credit available to the Borrower requesting such issuance at its office referred to in Section 9.02 or as otherwise agreed with such Borrower in connection with such issuance.  In the event and to the extent that the provisions of any Letter of Credit Agreement shall conflict with this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.  Each Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Letter of Credit requested pursuant to or issued under this Agreement which may state or indicate that the “Account Party”, “Applicant”, “applicant”, “Requesting Party” or any similar designation with respect to such requested Letter of Credit is a Person other than the applicable requesting Borrower, (i) such Borrower is, and shall at all times remain, the “Applicant” (as defined in Section 5-102(a) of the Uniform Commercial Code, as in effect in the State of New York) with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank pursuant to a Notice of Issuance, and (ii) all such Letters of Credit shall constitute “Letters of Credit” under, and as defined in, this Agreement.  No Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if (1) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing 


67    Sealed Air – 3rd A&R Syndicated Facility Agt





Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense that was not applicable on the Closing Date and that such Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it or (2) the form, substance or proposed beneficiary of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally.
(b)    Participations.  By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Multicurrency Revolving Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each such applicable Multicurrency Revolving Lender, and each such Multicurrency Revolving Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Multicurrency Revolving Lender’s Ratable Share of the Available Amount of such Letter of Credit.  Each Borrower hereby agrees to each such participation.  In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each of the Multicurrency Revolving Lenders hereby absolutely and unconditionally agree to pay to the Agent, for the account of such Issuing Bank, such Multicurrency Revolving Lender’s Ratable Share of each drawing made under a Letter of Credit funded by such Issuing Bank, and not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower by payment in full to the Agent not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day following the date of such payment, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to any Borrower for any reason.  Each Multicurrency Revolving Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of any Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.  Each Multicurrency Revolving Lender further acknowledges and agrees that its participation in each Letter of Credit will be automatically adjusted to reflect such Lender’s Ratable Share of the Available Amount of such Letter of Credit under the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility at each time such Lender’s Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitment is amended pursuant to an assignment in accordance with Section 9.07 or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement.
(c)    Drawing and Reimbursement.  Not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day following the date of any payment by the applicable Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit or 3:00 P.M. (Sydney, Australia time) on the Business Day following the date of any payment by the applicable Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit denominated in AU$, the Company shall pay (or shall cause the applicable Borrower to pay) to the Agent, an amount equal to the full amount of such drawing plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon from the date of such drawing through and including the date of such payment (which shall accrue at the Base Rate), which amount shall be payable in the Committed Currency in which such Letter of Credit was issued, and the Agent shall promptly apply such amount to either (x) reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for the full amount of such drawing plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, or (y) to the extent that the Multicurrency Revolving Lenders shall have already funded participations or Revolving Credit Advances with respect to the payment under such Letter of Credit, pursuant to Section 2.03(b) above or this Section 2.03(c), to pay to each such Multicurrency Revolving Lender an amount equal to 


68    Sealed Air – 3rd A&R Syndicated Facility Agt





such Multicurrency Revolving Lender’s Ratable Share of such drawing plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (which shall accrue at the Base Rate).  If the Company does not comply with the provisions of the preceding sentence, then the payment by an Issuing Bank of a draft drawn under any Letter of Credit shall constitute for all purposes of this Agreement the making by such Issuing Bank of a Revolving Credit Advance under the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility, which shall be a Base Rate Advance, in the amount of such draft (and if such Letter of Credit was originally denominated in a Committed Currency other than Dollars, such deemed Advance shall also automatically be exchanged for an Equivalent amount of Dollars at the then applicable Spot Rate).  The applicable Issuing Bank shall give prompt notice (and such Issuing Bank will use its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver such notice within one Business Day) of each drawing under any Letter of Credit issued by it to the Company, the applicable Borrower (if not the Company) and the Agent.  Upon written demand by such Issuing Bank, with a copy of such demand to the Agent and the Company, each Multicurrency Revolving Lender shall pay to the Agent such Multicurrency Revolving Lender’s Ratable Share of such outstanding Multicurrency Revolving Credit Advance under the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility, by making available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank, by deposit to the Agent’s Account, in same day funds, an amount equal to the portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Advance to be funded by such Lender.  Each Multicurrency Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to make Multicurrency Revolving Credit Advances pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.  Promptly after receipt thereof, the Agent shall transfer such funds to such Issuing Bank.  Each Multicurrency Revolving Lender agrees to fund its Ratable Share of an outstanding Advance on (i) the Business Day on which demand therefor is made by such Issuing Bank; provided that notice of such demand is given not later than 12:00 P.M. (New York City time) on such Business Day or 11:00 A.M. (Sydney, Australia time) on such Business Day in the case of Advances denominated in AU$, or (ii) the first Business Day next succeeding such demand if notice of such demand is given after such time.  If and to the extent that any Revolving Lender shall not have so made the amount of such Multicurrency Revolving Credit Advance available to the Agent, such Multicurrency Revolving Lender agrees to pay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date of demand by any such Issuing Bank until the date such amount is paid to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for its account or the account of such Issuing Bank, as applicable.
(d)    Letter of Credit Reports.  The applicable Issuing Bank shall furnish (A) to the Agent (with a copy to the Company) on the last Business Day of each fiscal quarter a written report summarizing issuance and expiration dates of Letters of Credit under the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility during the preceding month and drawings during such month under all Letters of Credit and (B) to the Agent (with a copy to the Company) on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter a written report setting forth the actual daily aggregate Available Amount during the preceding calendar quarter of all Letters of Credit.


69    Sealed Air – 3rd A&R Syndicated Facility Agt





(e)    Replacement of an Issuing Bank.  Any Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement between the Borrower, the Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank.  The Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank.  At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.05(b).  From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued by it thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to include such successor or any previous Issuing Bank, or such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require.  After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.
SECTION 2.04    Incremental Commitments.
(a)    The Company may, by written notice to the Agent from time to time, request Incremental Term Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, in an aggregate amount not to exceed the Incremental Amount from one or more Incremental Term Lenders and/or Incremental Revolving Lenders (which may include any existing Lender) willing to provide such Incremental Term Advances and/or Incremental Revolving Credit Advances, as the case may be, in their sole discretion; provided, that each Incremental Term Lender and/or Incremental Revolving Lender (which is not an existing Lender) shall be subject to the approval requirements of Section 9.07.  Such notice shall set forth (A) the amount of the Incremental Term Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments being requested (which shall be in minimum increments of $5,000,000 and a minimum amount of $25,000,000 or equal to the remaining Incremental Amount), (B) the date on which such Incremental Term Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments are requested to become effective (the “Increased Amount Date”) and (C) (i) whether such Incremental Term Commitments are to be commitments to make term advances (“Other Term Advances”) and/or (ii) whether such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments are to be Revolving Credit Commitments or commitments to make revolving advances with pricing and/or amortization terms different from the Revolving Credit Advances (“Other Revolving Credit Advances”). 
(b)    The applicable Borrower and such other Loan Parties as may be required with respect to such Incremental Term Commitment or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment and each Incremental Term Lender and/or Incremental Revolving Lender shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Incremental Assumption Agreement, guarantor acknowledgments and consents, Notes (if requested in advance by the applicable Lenders) and such other closing or corporate documentation as the Agent (acting at the direction of the applicable Incremental Lenders) shall reasonably request.  Each Incremental Assumption Agreement shall specify the terms of the Incremental Term Advances and/or Incremental Revolving Credit Advances to be made thereunder, and shall be made (x) on terms and conditions agreed to by the applicable Borrower and the applicable Incremental Lenders, and in a form that is reasonably acceptable to the Agent; provided, that (i) the Other Term Advances and Other Revolving Facility Advances shall rank pari passu in right of payment and of security

with the Term Advances and Revolving Credit Advances, as applicable, (ii) the final maturity date of (A) any Other Term Advances shall be no earlier than the Latest Scheduled Term Loan Termination Date and (B) any Other Revolving Facility Advances shall be no earlier than the scheduled Termination Date applicable to the Revolving Credit Facilities (under clause (a)(i) of the definition of “Termination Date”), (iii) the weighted average life to maturity of any Other Term Advances shall be no shorter than the longest remaining weighted average life to maturity of any Term Facility outstanding immediately prior to the execution and delivery of such Incremental Assumption Agreement, (iv) the Other Revolving Facility Advances shall require no scheduled amortization or mandatory commitment reductions prior to the scheduled Termination Date applicable to the Revolving Credit Facilities (under clause (a)(i) of the definition of “Termination Date”) and (v) no Default (except in the connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition, in which case this requirement shall be that no Specified Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from such Incremental Term Advance and/or Incremental Revolving Credit Advance) shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from such Incremental Term Advances and/or Incremental Revolving Credit Advances. 
(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Term Commitment or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment shall become effective under this Section 2.04 unless (i) on the date of such effectiveness, the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.01 shall be true and correct (in the case of a Limited Condition Acquisition, to the extent required under Section 1.14) and the Agent (acting at the direction of the applicable Incremental Lenders) shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Responsible Officer of the applicable Borrower, (ii) the Agent shall have received (or waived, in accordance with the terms of the relevant Incremental Assumption Agreement) legal opinions, board resolutions and other closing certificates and documentation as required by the relevant Incremental Assumption Agreement and consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 3.01 and such additional documents and filings (including amendments to the Collateral Documents) as the Agent may reasonably require to assure that the Incremental Term Advances and/or Incremental Revolving Credit Facility Advances are secured by the Collateral ratably with the existing Term Advances and Revolving Credit Advances, and (iii) subject to Section 1.14, the Borrowers would be in Pro Forma Compliance, calculated as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter for which financial statements delivered under Section 5.01(a)(i) are available, determined on a Pro Forma Basis giving effect to such Incremental Term Commitment and/or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments (assuming for such purpose that any such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments are fully drawn) and the Advances to be made thereunder and the application of the proceeds therefrom as if made and applied on such date.
(d)    Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Agent may take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that all Incremental Term Advances and/or Incremental Revolving Credit Facility Advances (other than Other Term Advances or Other Revolving Credit Advances), when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of outstanding Term Advances or Revolving Facility Advances on a pro rata basis.
(e)    Incremental Notes.

(b)    Mandatory.
(i)    The aggregate Term Commitments under each Term Facility shall be automatically and permanently reduced to zero on the date of the Borrowings in respect of such Facility.
(ii)    If, after giving effect to any reduction or termination of Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments under this Section 2.06, the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Sublimit plus the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the total amount of the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility at such time, then the Letter of Credit Sublimit and/or the Swing Line Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess (provided, that the Company may determine the allocation of reductions between the Letter of Credit Sublimit and/or the Swing Line Sublimit, except to the extent that its ability to reduce the Letter of Credit Sublimit is limited by outstanding Letters of Credit and/or Unpaid Drawings). 
(c)    Termination of Defaulting Lender.  The Company may terminate the unused amount of the Commitment of any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender upon not less than three Business Days’ prior notice to the Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and in

78    Sealed Air – 3rd A&R Syndicated Facility Agt





from time to time, payable in arrears (A) in the case of a Base Rate Advance that is not a Swing Line Advance, quarterly on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December or (B) in the case of a Base Rate Advance that is a Swing Line Advance, on the date such Swing Line Advance shall be paid in full, in each case payable in Dollars.

(London, England time) on the second Business Day before the making of a Borrowing in sufficient amounts to fund their respective Advances as a part of such Borrowing during its Interest Period or (ii) the Eurocurrency Rate for any Interest Period for such Advances will not adequately reflect the cost to such Required Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their respective Eurocurrency Rate Advances in the applicable currency for such Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith so notify each Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon (A) the Borrower of such Eurocurrency Rate Advances in such currency will, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, (1) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advances are denominated in Dollars, either (x) prepay such Advances or (y) Convert such Advances into Base Rate Advances and (2) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advances are denominated in a Committed Currency or other Foreign Currency (other than Dollars) prepay such Advances in the Committed Currency or other Foreign Currency in which they were made, and (B) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert or continue Revolving Credit Advances into, Eurocurrency Rate Advances in such currency shall be 


79    Sealed Air – 3rd A&R Syndicated Facility Agt

Each Lender shall certify its cost of funds for each Interest Period to the Agent and the Company as soon as practicable (but in any event not later than ten Business Days after the first day of such Interest Period). 
(c)    If any Borrower shall fail to select the duration of any Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Rate Advances in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.01, the Agent will forthwith so notify such Borrower and the Lenders who have extended such Eurocurrency Rate and such Advances will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period for such Advances, (i) in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Advances denominated in Dollars, Convert such Eurocurrency Rate Advances into Base Rate Advances, (ii) in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Advances denominated in a Committed Currency or other Foreign Currency (other than Dollars or Pesos), continue such Eurocurrency Rate Advances as Eurocurrency Rate Advances with a one-month Interest Period, and (iii) in the case of TIIE Rate Advances, continue such TIIE Rate Advance as a TIIE Rate Advance with a 28-day Interest Period.
(d)    On the date on which the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Eurocurrency Rate Advances comprising any Borrowing shall be reduced, by payment or prepayment or otherwise, to less than $5,000,000, such Advances shall automatically (i) in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Advances denominated in Dollars, Convert such Eurocurrency Rate Advances into Base Rate Advances, and (ii) in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Advances denominated in a Committed Currency or other Foreign Currency (other than Dollars), on the last day of the applicable Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Advances, and the last day of each subsequent Interest Period for so long as the total of such Advances are less than the Equivalent of $5,000,000, (A) in the case of a Committed Currency or other Foreign Currency (other than Dollars or Pesos), continue such Eurocurrency Rate Advances as Eurocurrency Rate Advances with a one-month Interest Period and (B) in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Advances in Pesos, continue such Eurocurrency Rate Advances as TIIE Rate Advances with a 28-day Interest period.

(f)    For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) and disclosure thereunder, whenever any interest or any fee to be paid hereunder or in connection herewith is to be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year or 366-day year, as applicable, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate used in such calculation is equivalent is the rate so used multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by 365 or 366, as applicable.  The rates of interest under this Agreement are nominal rates, and not effective rates or yields.  The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement. Each of the Loan Parties confirms that it fully understands and is able to calculate the rate of interest applicable to the credit facility under this Agreement based on the methodology for calculating per annum rates provided for in this Agreement.  The Agent agrees that if requested in writing by the Borrowers it will calculate the nominal and effective per annum rate of interest on the Facility outstanding at the time of such request and provide such information to the Borrowers promptly following such request; provided that any error in any such calculation, or any failure to provide such information on request, shall not relieve the Borrowers or any other Loan Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor result in any liability to the Agent or any Lender. Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably agrees not to plead or assert, whether by way of defence or otherwise, in any proceeding relating to the Loan Documents, that the interest payable under the Loan Documents and the calculation thereof has not been adequately disclosed to the Loan Parties, whether pursuant to section 4 of the Interest Act (Canada) or any other applicable law or legal principle.
(g)    If any provision of this Agreement would oblige the CDN Revolver Borrower to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by applicable Law or would result in a receipt by that Lender of “interest” at a “criminal rate” (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then, notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by Law or so result in a receipt by that Lender of “interest” at a “criminal rate”, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary (but only to the extent necessary), as follows (i) first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid to the affected Lender under Section 2.08 and (ii) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, costs, expenses, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to the affected Lender which would constitute interest for purposes of section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada).
(h)    (i) If the Banco de México fails to publish the TIIE for the applicable Interest Period on the first Business Day of such Interest Period, either temporarily or on a definitive basis, the TIIE Rate shall be calculated applying any rate published by the Banco de México in substitution of the applicable TIIE Rate, and (ii) if clause (i) above is not available, the TIIE Rate shall be calculated based on the annual yield for the TIIE for a period closest to the duration of the applicable Interest Period, either compounded or calculated based on a 28, 91 or 182 day, as applicable, equivalent basis in substitution of the TIIE Rate.
SECTION 2.10    Optional Conversion of Advances.  Each Borrower may on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Agent (x) not later than 12:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion in the case of conversion of Base

(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.11 or any other provision of this Agreement, the Company may prepay any outstanding Term Advances at a discount to par pursuant to one or more auctions (each, an “Auction”) on the following basis (any such prepayment, an “Auction Prepayment”):
(i)    All Term Lenders (other than Defaulting Lenders) with respect to the applicable Term Facility shall be permitted (but not required) to participate in each Auction.  Any such Lender who elects to participate in an Auction may choose to offer all or part of such Lender’s Term Advance of the applicable Term Facility for prepayment.

(vi)    This Section 2.11(c) shall neither (A) require the Company to undertake any Auction nor (B) limit or restrict the Company from making voluntary prepayments of Term Advances in accordance with Section 2.11(a).
SECTION 2.12    Increased Costs.  
(a)    If, after the date hereof, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority including, without limitation, any agency of the European Union or similar monetary or multinational authority (whether or not having the force of law, and for the avoidance of doubt, including any changes resulting from (A) requests, rules, guidelines or directives issued in connection with the Dodd‐Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and (B) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, and in each case for both clauses (A) and (B), regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued), there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Eurocurrency Rate Advances or agreeing to issue or of issuing or maintaining or participating in Letters of Credit (excluding for purposes of this Section 2.12 any such increased costs resulting from (x) taxes other than taxes on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto and (y) Excluded Taxes), then the Company shall pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender (in accordance with Section 2.12(c)) additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost.  A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Company and the Agent by such Lender, showing calculations in reasonable detail, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(b)    If any Lender determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority in each case made subsequent to the date hereof (whether or not having the force of law, and for the avoidance of doubt, including any changes resulting from (i) requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy or liquidity issued in connection with the Dodd‐Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, and in each case for both clauses (i) and (ii), regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender and that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend or issue or participate in letters of credit hereunder and other commitments of this type, then, the Company shall pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender, (in accordance with Section 2.12(c)) additional amounts sufficient to 


85    Sealed Air – 3rd A&R Syndicated Facility Agt





compensate such Lender or such corporation in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend hereunder.  A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Company and the Agent by such Lender (which certificate shall, if the Company so requests, include reasonably detailed calculations) shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(c)    The Company shall pay to the Agent for the account of the applicable Lender the amounts shown on any written notice delivered in accordance with the final sentence of Section 2.12(a) and Section 2.12(b) within 30 days after receipt thereof; provided, that the Company shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.12 for any such increased costs or adjustments in capital adequacy or liquidity requirements incurred or suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Company and the Agent of the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or adjustments in capital adequacy requirements and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that if the cause of such claim is retroactive in nature, then such nine month period shall be extended to include such period of retroactivity.
SECTION 2.13    Illegality.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall notify the Agent that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurocurrency Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances in Dollars or another Committed Currency or to fund or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Advances in Dollars or another Committed Currency in Dollars or any Foreign Currency hereunder on the last day of the applicable Interest Period (or earlier if required by law, regulation or other Governmental Authority), (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Advance in the applicable currency will automatically, upon such demand, Convert into a Base Rate Advance, (A) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advance is denominated in Dollars, be Converted into a Base Rate Advance, and (B) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advance is denominated in any Foreign Currency, be exchanged into an Equivalent amount of Dollars and be Converted into a Base Rate Advance, and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances in such currency or to Convert Revolving Credit Advances into Eurocurrency Rate Advances in such currency shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.
SECTION 2.14    Payments and Computations.  
(a)    Each Borrower shall make each payment hereunder (except with respect to principal of, interest on, and other amounts relating to, Advances denominated in a Foreign Currency), irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set‐off, not later than 12:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the day when due in Dollars to the Agent at the applicable Agent’s Account in same day funds.  Each Borrower shall make each payment hereunder with respect to principal of, interest on, and other amounts relating to, Advances denominated in a Foreign Currency, irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set‐off, not later than the Applicable Time (at the Payment Office for such Foreign Currency) on the day when due in such Foreign Currency to the Agent, by deposit of such funds to the applicable Agent’s Account in same day funds.  The Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be 


86    Sealed Air – 3rd A&R Syndicated Facility Agt





distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest, fees or commissions ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12, 2.15 or 9.04(c)) to the Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 9.07(d), from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, the Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under the Notes in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.
(b)    All computations of interest based on the Base Rate or the Australian Bill Rate shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, all computations of interest based on any Eurocurrency Rate (other than the Australian Bill Rate) or the Federal Funds Rate and of fees and Letter of Credit commissions shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest, fees or commissions are payable.  Each determination by the Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
(c)    Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest, fee or commission, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurocurrency Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.
(d)    Unless the Agent shall have received notice from any Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender.  If and to the extent such Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Agent, at (i) the Federal Funds Rate in the case of Advances denominated in Dollars or (ii) the cost of funds incurred by the Agent in respect of such amount in the case of Advances denominated in Foreign Currencies.
SECTION 2.15    Taxes.  


87    Sealed Air – 3rd A&R Syndicated Facility Agt





(a)    Any and all payments by any Loan Party to or for the account of any Lender or the Agent hereunder or under any Loan Document shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.14 or the applicable provisions of such other documents, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto (“Taxes”), excluding, (i) in the case of each Lender and the Agent, taxes imposed on net income (however denominated), franchise taxes or branch profit taxes imposed, in each case as a result of a present or former connection between such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising from such Lender or Agent having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document), (ii) any withholding or similar tax imposed on a Lender pursuant to FATCA, (iii) withholding taxes resulting from any requirement of law in effect on the date such Lender acquires an interest, other than pursuant to an assignment requested by the Borrower under Section 2.20, in an Advance or Commitment (or designates a new lending office or exercises its option pursuant to Section 2.02(g)), except to the extent that such Lender (or such Lenders’ assignor, or the entity exercising such option) was entitled, at the time of designation of a new lending office (or assignment or exercise of such option), to receive additional amounts from the applicable Loan Party with respect to such withholding taxes pursuant to this Section 2.15, (iv) any Tax imposed on a Lender pursuant to section 49 para 1 no 5 lit c) aa) German Income Tax Act (Einkommensteuergesetz), (v) Taxes attributable to a Lender’s failure to comply with subsections (e) or (f), (vi) any Taxes imposed under the laws of the Netherlands to the extent such Tax becomes payable as a result of a Lender or the Agent having a substantial interest (aanmerkelijk belang) in the Loan Party as laid down in the Dutch Income Tax Act 2001 (Wet inkomstenbelasting 2001), (vii) [reserved], (viii) any Tax compensated under subsection (b) below or that would have been compensated under subsection (b) below but was not so compensated solely because one of the exclusion therein applied and (ix) in the case of Mexico, any withholding Taxes above the withholding rate that would apply to a foreign bank which is (or its main office is, if lending through a branch or agency) in compliance with the requirements established in article 166, paragraph I, subparagraph a), section 2. of the Mexican Income Tax Law (Ley del Impuesto Sobre la Renta) (or any successor provisions thereof), a resident for tax purposes in a jurisdiction that has concluded a treaty for the avoidance of double taxation which is in effect, in compliance with the requirements for the application of the benefits of such treaty, including being the beneficial owner of any payments made under this Agreement and complies with the delivery of documentation established in rules 3.18.19. or 3.18.20. of the Tax Miscellaneous Resolution for 2018 (Resolución Miscelánea Fiscal para 2018) (or any successor provision) (all such non-excluded Taxes in respect of payments hereunder or any Loan Document hereinafter referred to as “Indemnified Taxes”, and any Taxes excluded under clauses (i) through (ix) above being hereinafter referred to as the “Excluded Taxes”).  If any Loan Party shall be required by law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Loan Document, (A) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions of Indemnified Taxes (including deductions of Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.15) such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (B) such Loan Party shall make such deductions and (C) such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.  For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under

FATCA, from and after the Closing Date, the Borrowers and the Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Agent to treat) the Credit Agreement as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).
(b)    In addition, each Loan Party shall pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise, property, intangible, mortgage recording, or similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or under any Loan Documents or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performing under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”), except for any Luxembourg tax payable due to a registration of Notes (or any other documents to be delivered hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performing under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or the Notes) when such registration (i) is not required to maintain, preserve, establish or enforce the rights of the Lenders or the Agent, or (ii) is in connection with transfers, assignments or changes in lending offices not required by the Loan Documents.
(c)    Each Loan Party shall indemnify each Lender and the Agent for and hold it harmless against the full amount of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 2.15) imposed on or paid by such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, excluding for the avoidance of doubt, any Excluded Taxes.  This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor, stating the amounts of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid or payable and describing the basis for the indemnification claim.
(d)    Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Indemnified Taxes paid by a Loan Party pursuant to Section 2.15(a), each Loan Party shall furnish to the Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment to the extent such a receipt is issued therefor, or other written proof of payment thereof that is reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.
(e)

Each Lender that is not a United States person (a “Non-U.S. Lender”), on or prior to the date on which it becomes party to this Agreement, and from time to time thereafter as reasonably requested in writing by any Borrower (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide each of the Agent and such Borrower with (i) two original Internal Revenue Service Forms W‐8BEN, W-BEN-E, W‐8ECI or W-8IMY (together with any applicable underlying IRS forms), as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender is exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of United States withholding tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement or the Notes, (ii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code with respect 


89    Sealed Air – 3rd A&R Syndicated Facility Agt





to payments of “portfolio interest”, a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit L and the applicable IRS Form W-8, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on payments under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or (iii) any other form prescribed by applicable requirements of U.S. federal income tax law, or reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Agent, as will permit payments under any Loan Document to be made without or at a reduced rate of U.S. federal withholding tax, duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable requirements of law to permit the Company and the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made (provided, in the case of clause (iii), that doing so does not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed costs).  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section that such Non‐U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver.  For purposes of this subsection (e), the term “United States person” shall have the meaning specified in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code.
(ii)    If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding or Canadian tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Company and the Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent as may be necessary for the Company or the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.
(f)    A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which a Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to such Borrower (with a copy to the Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without or at a reduced rate of withholding; provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and that doing so does not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed costs. In the case of Mexico, such documentation shall include, as applicable, the documentation established in rules 3.18.19. or 3.18.20. of the Tax Miscellaneous Resolution for 2018 (Resolución Miscelánea Fiscal para 2018) or any successor provision. In the case of the United Kingdom, a Lender may provide its Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) DT Treaty Passport scheme reference number (if applicable) and jurisdiction of tax residence to the Sterling Borrower. If a Lender provides its HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme reference number and confirmation of its jurisdiction of tax residence, the Sterling Borrower shall submit a duly completed HMRC Form DTTP2 to HMRC within 15 Business Days of the date on which that Sterling Borrower receives such information.

(g)    If the Agent or any Lender determines, in their sole discretion, that it has received a refund (or a credit in lieu of a refund) of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Borrower or with respect to which a Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15, it shall pay over such refund (or credit) to such Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section 2.15 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund) (or credit)), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund (or credit)).  A Borrower, upon the request of such Agent or Lender, shall repay to such Agent or Lender the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such Agent or Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount to a Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place Agent or any Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Agent or any Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to require the Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any other Person.
(h)    To the extent there is an Advance by a Transpacific Revolving Lender to a New Zealand Revolver Borrower that may be eligible for approved issuer levy (as the approved issuer levy rules are set out in New Zealand's Stamp and Cheque Duties Act 1971, Tax Administration Act 1994 and Income Tax Act 2007), the New Zealand Revolver Borrower may:
(i)    register the Advance with Inland Revenue as a registered security;
(ii)    zero-rate any non-resident withholding taxes payable on any registered Advances; and
(iii)    pay approved issuer levy to Inland Revenue at a rate of 2% (or the prevailing rate of approved issuer levy from time to time under Part 6B of the Stamp and Cheque Duties Act 1971) of the interest paid under the Advance.

Subject to Section 2.19 in the case of a Defaulting Lender, if any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of any Advances owing to it (other than pursuant to Section 2.11(c), 2.12, 2.15 or 9.04(c)) in excess of its Ratable Share of payments on account of such Advances obtained by the applicable Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other applicable Lenders such participations in the relevant Advances owing to them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of 


91    Sealed Air – 3rd A&R Syndicated Facility Agt





such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered.  Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.16 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.
SECTION 2.17    Evidence of Debt.  
(a)    Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Term Advance, Revolving Credit Advance and each Swing Line Advance owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder in respect of Term Advances, Revolving Credit Advances and Swing Line Advances.  Each Borrower agrees that upon notice by any Lender to such Borrower (with a copy of such notice to the Agent) to the effect that a Term Note or Revolving Credit Note is required or appropriate in order for such Lender to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Term Advances, Revolving Credit Advances and Swing Line Advances owing to, or to be made by, such Lender, such Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a Term Note or Revolving Credit Note, as the case may be, payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount up to the Advances, Term Commitment or Revolving Credit Commitment, as applicable, of such Lender.
(b)    The Register maintained by the Agent pursuant to Section 9.07(d) shall include a control account, and a subsidiary account for each Lender, in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the terms of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Agent from such Borrower hereunder and each Lender’s share thereof.
(c)    Entries made in good faith by the Agent in the Register pursuant to subsection (b) above, and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to subsection (a) above, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of any Borrower under this Agreement.

SECTION 2.18    Use of Proceeds.  The proceeds of (a) the Term A Advances and Sterling Term A Advances shall be available (and each Loan Party agrees that it shall use such proceeds) in connection with the Closing Date Refinancing of the remaining “Term Advances” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) outstanding immediately prior to the Closing Date, (b) on the Closing Date, then-outstanding Revolving Credit Advances shall be made available (and each Loan Party agrees that it shall use such proceeds) in connection with the Closing Date Refinancing of certain “Revolving Credit Advances” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) and (c) on and following the Closing Date, the Revolving Credit Advances and Incremental Advances shall be available (and each Loan Party agrees that it shall use such proceeds) solely for the working capital and general corporate purposes of the Company and its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, any acquisition permitted hereunder).  
SECTION 2.19    Defaulting Lenders.  
(a)    In addition to the other conditions precedent herein set forth, if any Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Banks will not be required to issue any Letter of Credit or to amend any outstanding Letter of Credit, and the Swing Line Bank will not be required to make any Swing Line Advance, unless any of clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) below is satisfied:
(i)    in the case of a Defaulting Lender, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, the L/C Exposure and Swing Line Exposure of such Defaulting Lender is reallocated to the Non‐Defaulting Lenders as provided in clause (i) of Section 2.19(b);
(ii)    to the extent full reallocation does not occur as provided in clause (i) above, the Company Cash Collateralizes the obligations of the Borrowers in respect of such Letter of Credit or Swing Line Advance in an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the unallocated obligations (contingent or otherwise) of such Defaulting Lender in respect of such Letter of Credit or Swing Line Advance, or makes other arrangements satisfactory to the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Bank in their reasonable discretion to protect them against the risk of non‐payment by such Defaulting Lender; and
(iii)    to the extent that neither full reallocation nor full Cash Collateralization occurs pursuant to clauses (i) and/or (ii), then in the case of a proposed issuance of a Letter of Credit or making of a Swing Line Advance, by an instrument or instruments in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, and to the Issuing Banks and the Swing Line Bank, as the case may be, (A) the Company agrees that the face amount of such requested Letter of Credit or the principal amount of such requested Swing Line Advance will be reduced by an amount equal to the unallocated, non Cash‐Collateralized portion thereof as to which such Defaulting Lender would otherwise be liable, and (B) the Non‐Defaulting Lenders confirm, in their discretion, that their obligations in respect of such Letter of Credit or Swing Line Advance shall be on a pro rata basis in accordance with the Commitments of the Non‐Defaulting Lenders, and that the pro rata payment provisions of Section 2.16 will be deemed adjusted to reflect this provision.


93    Sealed Air – 3rd A&R Syndicated Facility Agt





(b)    If a Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, the following provisions shall apply with respect to any L/C Exposure or Swing Line Exposure of such Defaulting Lender:
(i)    so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, the LC Exposure and the Swing Line Exposure of such Defaulting Lender will, upon notice by the Agent, and subject in any event to the limitation in the first proviso below, automatically be reallocated (effective on the day such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) among the Non‐Defaulting Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments; provided that (a) the sum of the total outstanding Revolving Credit Advances and Swing Line Advances owed to each Non‐Defaulting Lender and its L/C Exposure may not in any event exceed the Commitment of such Non‐Defaulting Lender as in effect at the time of such reallocation, (b) subject to Section 9.23, such reallocation will not constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Borrowers, the Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swing Line Bank or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender, and (c) neither such reallocation nor any payment by a Non‐Defaulting Lender as a result thereof will cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non‐Defaulting Lender; 
(ii)    to the extent that any portion (the “unreallocated portion”) of the Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure and/or Swing Line Exposure cannot be so reallocated, whether by reason of the first proviso in clause (i) above or otherwise, the Company shall, not later than three Business Days after demand by the Agent, (a) Cash Collateralize the obligations of the Borrowers to the Issuing Banks and the Swing Line Bank in respect of such L/C Exposure or Swing Line Exposure, as the case may be, in an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the unreallocated portion of such L/C Exposure or Swing Line Exposure, (b) in the case of such Swing Line Exposure, prepay in full the unreallocated portion thereof, or (c) make other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, and to the Issuing Banks and the Swing Line Bank, as the case may be, in their reasonable discretion to protect them against the risk of non‐payment by such Defaulting Lender; and
(iii)    any amount paid by the Company for the account of a Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity payments or other amounts) will not be paid or distributed to such Defaulting Lender, but shall instead be retained by the Agent in a segregated escrow account until (subject to Section 2.19(c)) the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all obligations of the Borrowers hereunder and will be applied by the Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to the making of payments from time to time in the following order of priority:
first to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent under this Agreement,
second to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Banks or the Swing Line Bank (pro rata as to the respective amounts owing to each of them) under this Agreement,


94    Sealed Air – 3rd A&R Syndicated Facility Agt





third to the payment of post‐default interest and then current interest due and payable to the Non‐Defaulting Lenders hereunder, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such interest then due and payable to them,
fourth to the payment of fees then due and payable to the Non‐Defaulting Lenders hereunder, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such fees then due and payable to them,
fifth to pay principal and unreimbursed Letters of Credit then due and payable to the Non‐Defaulting Lenders hereunder ratably in accordance with the amounts thereof then due and payable to them,
sixth to the ratable payment of other amounts then due and payable to the Non‐Defaulting Lenders, 
seventh as the Company may direct to the funding of any Loan in respect of which a Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion, 
eighth to any amounts owing by the Defaulting Lender to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and
ninth after the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all obligations of the Borrowers hereunder, to pay amounts owing under this Agreement to such Defaulting Lender or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. 
(c)    If the Company, the Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Swing Line Bank agree in writing that a Lender that is a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any amounts then held in the segregated escrow account referred to in Section 2.19(b)), such Lender shall purchase at par such portions of the outstanding Advances of the other Lenders, and/or make such other adjustments, as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Lenders to hold Loans on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Commitments, whereupon such Lender shall cease to be a Defaulting Lender and will be a Non‐Defaulting Lender (and the L/C Exposure and Swing Line Exposure of each Lender shall automatically be adjusted on a prospective basis to reflect the foregoing); provided that no adjustments shall be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Company and applied as set forth in Section 2.19(b)(iii) while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non‐Defaulting Lender shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. 
SECTION 2.20    Replacement of Lenders.  


95    Sealed Air – 3rd A&R Syndicated Facility Agt





(a)    If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or if the Company is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Advances hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.15, as applicable, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect.  The Company hereby agrees to pay all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b)    If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or if the Company is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or if any Lender is subject to the provisions of Section 2.13, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Agent, require any such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.07), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided, that (i) to the extent that such prospective assignee is not an existing Lender, an Approved Fund or an Affiliate of an existing Lender, the Company shall have received the prior written consent of the Agent (and, if in respect of any Revolving Credit Commitment or Revolving Credit Advance, the Swing Line Bank and the Issuing Banks), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Advance and participations in Letters of Credits and Swing Line Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Company (in the case of all other amounts) (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.12 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.15, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments, (iv) the Company shall have paid to the Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 9.07, and (v) such assignment does not conflict with any applicable Laws.  A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment cease to apply.  Nothing in this Section 2.20 shall be deemed to prejudice any rights that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may otherwise have against any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender.
(c)    If any Lender has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination that pursuant to the terms of Section 9.01 requires the consent of all the Lenders affected and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent (any such Lender referred to above, a “Non‐Consenting Lender”) then the Company shall have the right (unless such Non‐Consenting Lender grants such consent) to replace any such Non‐Consenting Lender by requiring such Non‐Consenting Lender to assign all of its Advances and Commitments hereunder to one or more assignees selected by the Company and that are reasonably acceptable to the Agent (and, if in respect of any Revolving Credit Commitment or Revolving Credit Advance, 


96    Sealed Air – 3rd A&R Syndicated Facility Agt





the Swing Line Bank and the Issuing Banks); provided, that the replacement Lender shall pay in full to such Non‐Consenting Lender, concurrently with such assignment, a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon and fees in connection therewith.  In connection with any such assignment the Company, the Agent, such Non‐Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 9.07.
SECTION 2.21    Borrower Representative.  Each Borrower hereby designates and appoints the Company as its representative and agent on its behalf (the “Borrower Representative”) for the purposes of issuing Notices of Borrowings, Notices of Conversion/continuation, Notices of Issuance, Notices of Swing Line Borrowing and delivering certificates including Compliance Certificates, giving instructions with respect to the disbursement of the proceeds of the Advances, selecting interest rate options, giving and receiving all other notices and consents hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents and taking all other actions (including in respect of compliance with covenants) on behalf of any Borrower or Borrowers under the Loan Documents.  The Borrower Representative hereby accepts such appointment.  The Agent and each Lender may regard any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document from the Borrower Representative as a notice or communication from all Borrowers.  Each warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made on behalf of a Borrower by the Borrower Representative shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Borrower and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Borrower to the same extent as if the same had been made directly by such Borrower. 
SECTION 2.22    Public Offer. 
(a)    MLPFS, in its capacity as the “lead left” Joint Lead Arranger of the Facilities, represents and warrants that:  (x) it has made or will make on or before the date of the first Advance, jointly with each other Joint Lead Arranger, invitations to become a “Lender” under this Agreement in one of the ways contemplated in section 128F(3A)(a) or (b) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 (Cth):  or (y) as dealer, manager, or underwriter, in relation to the placement of debt interests issued under this Agreement, will jointly with each other Joint Lead Arranger, make invitations to become a “Lender” under this Agreement within 30 days after the date of this Agreement in a way consistent with Section 2.22(a)(x).
(b)    Each Australian Borrower represents and warrants that it does not know, or have reasonable grounds to suspect, that an Offshore Associate of any Australian Borrower will become a “Lender” under this Agreement and agrees to notify the Joint Lead Arrangers immediately if any proposed substitute Lender disclosed to it is known or suspected by it to be an Offshore Associate of the Australian Borrower.
(c)    Each Lender that becomes a Lender as a result of an invitation under Section 2.22(a) represents and warrants that except as disclosed to the Australian Borrower and the Joint Lead Arrangers, it is not, so far as its relevant officers involved in the transaction on a day to day basis are actually aware, an Offshore Associate of the Australian Borrower.
(d)    If, for any reason, the requirements of 128F of the Australian Tax Act have not been satisfied in relation to interest payable hereunder (except to an Offshore Associate of an Australian Borrower), then on request by a Joint Lead Arranger or an Australian Borrower, each 


97    Sealed Air – 3rd A&R Syndicated Facility Agt





party hereto shall co-operate and take steps reasonably requested with a view to satisfying those requirements:
(i)    where a Joint Lead Arranger breached Section 2.22(a) or a Lender has breached Section 2.22(c) at the cost of that Joint Lead Arranger or Lender (as the case may be); or
(ii)    in all other cases, at the cost of the Australian Borrower.
(e)    Each Joint Lead Arranger and each Lender undertakes that it will not directly or indirectly offer or sell any debt interest or distribute or circulate any offer document or other material in connection with this Agreement or any debt interest hereunder in any jurisdiction except under circumstances which would result in compliance with the laws and regulations of that jurisdiction.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.22, the guarantee, indemnity and other obligations of any Dutch Obligor expressed to be assumed in this Section 2.22 shall be deemed not to be assumed by such Dutch Obligor to the extent that the same would constitute unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of Article 2:98c Dutch Civil Code or any other applicable financial assistance rules under any relevant jurisdiction (the “Prohibition”) and the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be construed accordingly.  For the avoidance of doubt, it is expressly acknowledged that the relevant Dutch Obligors will continue to guarantee all such obligations which, if included, do not constitute a violation of the Prohibition.

136    Sealed Air – 3rd A&R Syndicated Facility Agt





in the foregoing clauses (A) and (B) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event”), the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries will not be required to comply with the terms of Sections 5.02(c), 5.02(d), 5.02(e), 5.02(j) and 5.02(l) collectively, the “Suspension Covenants”), and (ii) during any period of time when a Covenant Suspension Event shall have occurred and be continuing and the Interest Coverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 2.00:1.00 (as determined on a Pro Forma Basis, giving effect to each anticipated indebtedness incurrence event, as of the end of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding such date), the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries will not be required to comply with Section 5.02(b) other than the proviso at the end of Section 5.02(b) (the “Suspension Debt Covenant”).

So long as any Advance or Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding or any Lender shall have any Commitment hereunder, the Company will not permit the Net Total Leverage Ratio for any Test Period ending on the last day of any full fiscal quarter following the Closing Date to exceed:  (a) 4.50:1.00; provided, that the maximum Net Total Leverage Ratio permitted for the purpose of determining compliance with this Section 5.03 shall be increased to 5.00:1.00 for the first four full fiscal quarters following the consummation of a Material Acquisition (for the avoidance of doubt, no such increase in the maximum permitted Net Total Leverage Ratio pursuant to this proviso shall be used in any calculation of the 


137    Sealed Air – 3rd A&R Syndicated Facility Agt





Net Total Leverage Ratio and/or determination of compliance with this Section 5.03 for purposes of any provision of Section 5.02); provided, further, notwithstanding the consummation of any subsequent Material Acquisition(s) in no event shall the foregoing increase in the maximum permitted Total Net Leverage Ratio apply for more than four consecutive fiscal quarters; or (b) at all times following satisfaction of the Collateral Ratings Condition and the release of the Collateral pursuant to Section 9.17(a) hereof, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.03, 3.50:1.00.

with the priority required by the applicable Collateral Document, or any Lien purported to be created under any Collateral Document shall be asserted by any Loan Party not to be a valid and perfected Lien on any Collateral with the priority required by the applicable Collateral Document, except (i) as a result of the release of a Loan Party or the sale or other disposition of the applicable Collateral in a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents or (ii) as a result of the Agent’s failure to maintain possession of any stock certificates, promissory notes or other instruments delivered to it under the Collateral Agreement; or

Solely for the purposes of determining whether an Event of Default has occurred under clause (d), (e) or (g) of Section 6.01, any reference in any such clause to any Subsidiary shall be deemed not to include any Immaterial Subsidiary affected by any event or circumstance referred to in any such clause.
SECTION 6.02    Actions in Respect of the Letters of Credit upon Default.

141    Sealed Air – 3rd A&R Syndicated Facility Agt





Required Lenders; provided, however, that in the event of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to any Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code, (A) the obligation of the Borrowers to pay to the Agent on behalf of the Lenders in same day funds at the Agent’s office designated in such demand, for deposit in the L/C Cash Deposit Account, an amount equal to the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding shall automatically become and be due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers.  If at any time the Agent reasonably determines that any funds held in the L/C Cash Deposit Account are subject to any right or interest of any Person other than the Agent and the Lenders or that the total amount of such funds is less than the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit, the Borrowers will, forthwith upon demand by the Agent, pay to the Agent, as additional funds to be deposited and held in the L/C Cash Deposit Account, an amount equal to the excess of (a) such aggregate Available Amount over (b) the total amount of funds, if any, then held in the L/C Cash Deposit Account that are free and clear of any such right and interest.  Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit, to the extent funds are on deposit in the L/C Cash Deposit Account, such funds shall be applied to reimburse the Issuing Banks to the extent permitted by applicable law, and if so applied, then such reimbursement shall be deemed a repayment of the corresponding Advance in respect of such Letter of Credit.  After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon and all other obligations of the Borrowers hereunder and under the Notes shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in such L/C Cash Deposit Account shall be promptly returned to the Company.

 GUARANTY
SECTION 7.01    Guaranty.  The Company hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the punctual payment when due, whether at scheduled maturity or on any date of a required prepayment or by acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all obligations of each other Borrower now or hereafter existing under or in respect of (i) this Agreement or any Notes (including, without limitation, any extensions, modifications, substitutions, amendments or renewals of any or all of the foregoing obligations), whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, indemnities, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise, (ii) Cash Management Obligations and (iii) Swap Obligations (all such obligations referred to clause (i), (ii) and (iii) being the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and agrees to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Agent or any Lender in enforcing any rights under this Guaranty.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by any other Borrower to the Agent or any Lender under or in respect of this Agreement or any Notes but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving such other Borrower.
SECTION 7.02    Keepwell.  Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations 


142    Sealed Air – 3rd A&R Syndicated Facility Agt





under each applicable Guaranty in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 7.02 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby or thereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 7.02, or otherwise under such Guaranty, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount).  The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until a discharge or release of the (i) Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) the “Guaranteed Obligations” (as defined in the Foreign Subsidiary Guaranty), (iii) the “Guaranteed Obligations” (as defined in the US Subsidiary Guaranty), and (iv) all guaranteed obligations under each other Guaranty.  Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 7.02 constitutes, and this Section 7.02 shall be deemed to constitutes, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.
SECTION 7.03    Guaranty Absolute.  The Company guarantees payment of the Guaranteed Obligations strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and any Notes, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Agent or any Lender with respect thereto.  The obligations of the Company under or in respect of this Guaranty are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other obligations of any other Borrower under or in respect of this Agreement and any Notes, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Company to enforce this Guaranty, irrespective of whether any action is brought against any other Borrower or whether any other Borrower is joined in any such action or actions.  The liability of the Company under this Guaranty shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and the Company hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the following:
(a)    any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Notes or any agreement or instrument relating thereto;
(b)    any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other obligations of any other Borrower under or in respect of this Agreement and any Notes, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from this Agreement or any Note, including, without limitation, any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise;
(c)    any taking, exchange, release or non‐perfection of any collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;
(d)    any manner of application of any collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any other collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other obligations of any Borrower under this Agreement and any Notes or any other assets of any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries;


143    Sealed Air – 3rd A&R Syndicated Facility Agt





(e)    any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries;
(f)    any failure of the Agent or any Lender to disclose to the Company any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Borrower now or hereafter known to the Agent or such Lender (the Company waiving any duty on the part of the Agent and the Lenders to disclose such information);
(g)    the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver this any other guaranty or agreement or the release or reduction of liability of any other guarantor or surety with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; or
(h)    any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Agent or any Lender that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Borrower or any other guarantor or surety.
This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Agent or any Lender or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any other Borrower or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
SECTION 7.04    Waivers and Acknowledgments.  The Company hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, presentment, demand for performance, notice of nonperformance, default, acceleration, protest or dishonor and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty and any requirement that the Agent or any Lender protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any Borrower or any other Person or any collateral.
(a)    The Company hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty and acknowledges that this Guaranty is continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the future.
(b)    The Company hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives (i) any defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by the Agent or any Lender that in any manner impairs, reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects the subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification rights of the Company or other rights of the Company to proceed against any of the other Borrower, any other guarantor or any other Person or any collateral and (ii) any defense based on any right of set‐off or counterclaim against or in respect of the obligations of the Company hereunder.
(c)    The Company hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any duty on the part of the Agent or any Lender to disclose to the Company any matter, fact or thing relating to 


144    Sealed Air – 3rd A&R Syndicated Facility Agt





the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries now or hereafter known by the Agent or such Lender.
(d)    The Company acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Agreement and any Notes and that the waivers set forth in Section 7.03 and this Section 7.04 are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.
SECTION 7.05    Subrogation.  The Company hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees until the later of the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty and the last-occurring Termination Date not to exercise any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against any other Borrower or any other insider guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Company’s obligations under or in respect of this Guaranty, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Agent or any Lender against any Borrower or any other insider guarantor or any collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from any Borrower or any other insider guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set‐off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash and the Commitments shall have expired or been terminated.  If any amount shall be paid to the Company in violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the later of (a) the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty and (b) the last‐occurring Termination Date, such amount shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, shall be segregated from other property and funds of the Company and shall forthwith be paid or delivered to the Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or assignment) to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and any Notes, or to be held as collateral for any Guaranteed Obligations or other amounts payable under this Guaranty thereafter arising.  If (i) the Company shall make payment to the Agent or any Lender of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash and (iii) the last-occurring Termination Date shall have occurred, the Agent and the Lenders will, at the Company’s request and expense, execute and deliver to the Company appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to the Company of an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such payment made by the Company pursuant to this Guaranty.
SECTION 7.06    Subordination.  The Company hereby subordinates any and all debts, liabilities and other obligations owed to the Company by each other Borrower (the “Subordinated Obligations”) to the Guaranteed Obligations to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth in this Section 7.06:


145    Sealed Air – 3rd A&R Syndicated Facility Agt





(a)    Prohibited Payments, Etc.  Except during the continuance of a Default (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Borrower), the Company may receive regularly scheduled payments from any other Borrower on account of the Subordinated Obligations.  After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Borrower), however, unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, the Company shall not demand, accept or take any action to collect any payment on account of the Subordinated Obligations.
(b)    Prior Payment of Guaranteed Obligations.  In any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Borrower, the Company agrees that the Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations (including all interest and expenses accruing after the commencement of a proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law, whether or not constituting an allowed claim in such proceeding (“Post Petition Interest”)) before the Company receives payment of any Subordinated Obligations.
(c)    Turn‐Over.  After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Company shall, if the Agent so requests, collect, enforce and receive payments on account of the Subordinated Obligations as trustee for the Agent and the Lenders and deliver such payments to the Agent on account of the Guaranteed Obligations (including all Post Petition Interest), together with any necessary endorsements or other instruments of transfer, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of the Company under the other provisions of this Guaranty.
(d)    Agent Authorization.  After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Agent is authorized and empowered (but without any obligation to so do), in its discretion, (i) in the name of the Company, to collect and enforce, and to submit claims in respect of, Subordinated Obligations and to apply any amounts received thereon to the Guaranteed Obligations (including any and all Post Petition Interest), and (ii) to require the Company (A) to collect and enforce, and to submit claims in respect of, Subordinated Obligations and (B) to pay any amounts received on such obligations to the Agent for application to the Guaranteed Obligations (including any and all Post Petition Interest).
SECTION 7.07    Continuing Guaranty; Assignments.  This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the later of (i) the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty (other than the Cash Management Obligations and the Swap Obligations) and (ii) the last-occurring Termination Date, (b) be binding upon the Company, its successors and assigns and (c) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Agent and the Lenders and their successors, transferees and assigns.  Without limiting the generality of clause (c) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Agent or any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or any portion of its Commitments, the Advances owing to it and any Note or Notes held by it) to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to the Agent or such Lender herein or otherwise, in each case as and to the extent provided in Section 9.07. In the event that a 


146    Sealed Air – 3rd A&R Syndicated Facility Agt





transfer by the Agent or any Lender of its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (and any relevant Loan Documents) occurred or was deemed to occur by way of novation, the Secured Parties explicitly agree that all securities and guarantees created under any Loan Documents shall be preserved for the benefit of the new Lender and the other Secured Parties in accordance with the provisions of article 1278 of the Luxembourg Civil Code. The Company shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Agent and the Lenders.
ARTICLE VIII
THE AGENT
SECTION 8.01    Authorization and Action.  
(a)    Each Lender (in its capacities as a Lender, Swing Line Bank and/or Issuing Bank, as applicable) hereby appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including as collateral agent for such Lender and the other Secured Parties under the Collateral Documents as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof and the other Loan Documents, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto.  For such purposes, each Lender (including in its capacities as a Lender, Swing Line Bank and/or Issuing Bank, as applicable) hereby appoints and authorizes the Agent as its agent (Comisionista) pursuant to the Articles 273 and 274 of the Mexican Commerce Code (Código de Comercio) to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

The Agent agrees to give to each Lender prompt notice of each notice given to it by the Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
(b)    In furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender (in its capacities as a Lender, Swing Line Bank and Issuing Bank, as applicable) hereby appoints and authorizes the Agent to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto (including, but not limited to, execution, amendment, transfer, termination and renewal of Collateral Documents, and application for registration of creation, transfer and release of Lien on any Collateral).
(c)    Each Lender (in its capacities as a Lender, Swing Line Bank and Issuing Bank, as applicable) irrevocably authorizes each of the Agent, at its option and in its discretion, (i) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Agent under any Loan Document (A) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) and the expiration, termination or Cash Collateralization of all Letters

Upon request by the Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Agent’s authority to release its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Loan Documents.
SECTION 8.02    Agent’s Reliance, Etc.  Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(c)    The failure of any Lender to reimburse the Agent or any Issuing Bank promptly upon demand for its Ratable Share of any amount required to be paid by the Lenders to the Agent as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to reimburse the Agent or any Issuing Bank for its Ratable Share of such amount, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to reimburse the Agent or any Issuing Bank for such other Lender’s Ratable Share of such amount.  Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Lender hereunder, the agreement and obligations of each Lender contained in this Section 8.05 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the Notes.

(b)    Each Secured Party (other than the Agent) hereby authorises the Agent to accept as its representative (Stellvertreter) any pledge or other creation of any accessory security right made to such Secured Party in relation to the Loan Documents and to act and execute on its behalf as its representative (Stellvertreter), subject to the terms of the Loan Documents, amendments or releases of, accessions and alterations to, and to carry out similar dealings with regard to any German Collateral Document which creates a pledge or any other accessory security right (akzessorische Sicherheit).

(f)    Each Secured Party hereby irrevocably authorises the Agent to act on its behalf and if required under applicable law, or if otherwise appropriate, in its name and on its behalf in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of the German Collateral Documents and the perfection and monitoring of the German Collateral, including but not limited to, any share pledge, mortgage, assignment or transfer of title for security purposes.  The Agent is authorised to make all statements necessary or appropriate in connection with the foregoing sentence. 
(g)    Each of the Loan Parties and the Secured Parties hereby relieves the Agent, in each case to the extent legally possible, from the restrictions pursuant to section 181 of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch BGB) or any comparable provision under any other jurisdiction restricting self-dealing and/or representing several parties at the same time in order to enable the Agent to perform its duties and obligations as Agent hereunder. A Loan Party which is barred by its constitutional documents or by-laws from granting such exemption shall notify the Agent accordingly.
(h)    It is hereby agreed that, in relation to any jurisdiction the courts of which would not recognise or give effect to the trust expressed to be created by this Section 8.06, the relationship of the Secured Parties to the Agent in relation to any German Collateral shall be construed as one of principal and agent but, to the extent permissible under the laws of such jurisdiction, all the other provisions of this by this Section 8.06 shall have full force and effect between the parties to this Agreement.
SECTION 8.07    Successor Agent.  The Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Company and such resignation shall be effective upon the earlier of (i) the appointment of a successor Agent pursuant to this Section 8.07 and (ii) the date that is 30 days after the Agent delivers such notice.

If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Required Lenders’ removal of the retiring Agent (or if the Company shall not have consented to a successor Agent selected by the Required Lenders during such 30 day period), then the retiring Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000.  Upon the acceptance 


151    Sealed Air – 3rd A&R Syndicated Facility Agt





of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement.  After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article VIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement.

SECTION 8.09    Delegation of Duties.  The Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more co-agents or sub‐agents appointed by the Agent.

Each such co-agent and sub‐agent and the Related Parties of the Agent and each such co-agent and sub‐agent shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article VIII and Article IX (as though such co-agents and sub-agents were the “Agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

The execution by Bank of America, N.A., acting as hypothecary representative and mandatary, prior to the Credit Agreement of any deeds of hypothec or other security documents is hereby ratified and confirmed.

(c)    Bank of America, N.A. acting as hypothecary representative shall have the same rights, powers, immunities, indemnities and exclusions from liability as are prescribed in favour of the Agent in this Agreement, which shall apply mutatis mutandis to Bank of America, N.A. acting as hypothecary representative.

bad faith or willful misconduct, (ii) which resulted from a material breach of any Loan Documents by such Indemnified Party as determined in a final, non‐appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction or (iii) any dispute solely among the indemnified persons and not arising out of any act or omission of the Company, or any of their Affiliates (except when one of the parties to such action was acting in its capacity as an agent, an arranger a bookrunner or another agency capacity); provided that the Company shall not be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages (other than in respect of any such damages required to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 9.04 including, without limitation, as to any claims by Persons not party to the Loan Documents, or claims brought in violation of this paragraph.  In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 9.04(b) applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by a Borrower, its directors, equity holders or creditors or an Indemnified Party or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated.  Each Borrower also agrees not to assert any claim for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages against the Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger, any Lender, any of their Affiliates, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys and agents, on any theory of liability, arising out of or otherwise relating to this Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated herein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Advances.
(c)    If any payment of principal of, or Conversion of, any Eurocurrency Rate Advance is made by any Borrower to or for the account of a Lender (i) other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance, as a result of a payment or Conversion pursuant to Section 2.09, 2.10, 2.11 or 2.13, acceleration of the maturity of the Advances or Notes pursuant to Section 6.01 or for any other reason, or (ii) as a result of a payment or Conversion pursuant to Section 2.09, 2.10, 2.13 or 2.20 such Borrower shall, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses that it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment or Conversion, including, without limitation, any loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender to fund or maintain such Advance.  If the amount of the Committed Currency purchased by any Lender in the case of a Conversion or exchange of Advances in the case of Section 2.09 or 2.13 exceeds the sum required to satisfy such Lender’s liability in respect of such Advances, such Lender agrees to remit to the Company such excess.  A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Company and the Agent by such Lender pursuant to this Section 9.04(c) (which certificate shall, if the Company so requests, include reasonably detailed calculations) shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the applicable Borrower after any such set‐off and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set‐off and application.  The rights of each Lender and its Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set‐off) that such Lender and its Affiliates may have.
SECTION 9.06    Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall become effective (other than Sections 2.01 and 2.03, which shall only become effective upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.01) when it shall have been executed by the Company and the Agent and when the Agent shall have been notified by each Initial Lender that such Initial Lender has executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Borrower, the Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Borrower shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Lenders.
SECTION 9.07    Assignments and Participations.

(ii)    in any case not described in paragraph (a)(i) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Advances outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Advances of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000 in respect of the Revolving Credit Facilities or $2,000,000 in respect of the Term Facilities, unless each of the Agent and, so long as no Event of Default 


160    Sealed Air – 3rd A&R Syndicated Facility Agt





has occurred and is continuing, the Company otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(b)    Proportionate Amounts.  Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Advance or the Commitments assigned.
(c)    Required Consents.  No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section and, in addition:
(i)    the consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default under Section 6.01(a) or (e) has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Approved Fund, an Affiliate of a Lender or to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the F.R.S.

(ii)    the consent of the Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of the Commitments if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, unless such assignment is to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the F.R.S. Board and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank; and
(iii)    the consent of each Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Bank (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments unless such assignment is to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the F.R.S. Board and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank.
(d)    Register.  The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary Agent of the Company shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.02 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it (and will record such information in the Register) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and right to payments of interest) of the Advances owing to, each Lender from time to time (the “Register”).

161    Sealed Air – 3rd A&R Syndicated Facility Agt





Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(e)    Assignment and Acceptance.  The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that the Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment; provided, further, no processing and recordation fee shall be required upon any assignment to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the F.R.S. Board and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank.  The assignee, if it is not already a Lender, shall deliver to the Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(i)No such assignment shall be made to (A) the Company or any of the Company’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries except as provided in Section 2.11(c), (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (f) or (C) to any Offshore Associate of any Australian Borrower.
(ii)    A transfer or assignment under this Section 9.07 may only be made to a Person who is a Non-Public Lender. For the purpose of this Section 9.07, a “Non-Public Lender” means: (A) an entity that provides repayable funds to a Borrower for a minimum amount of EUR 100,000 (or its equivalent), and to the extent the amount of EUR 100,000 (or its equivalent) does not result in such entity not qualifying as forming part of the “public” (as referred to in Article 4, subsection 1 under (1) of the Capital Requirements Regulation (EU/575/2013)), such other amount or such criterion as a result of which such entity shall qualify as not forming part of the “public”; and (B) following the publication of any interpretation of the “public” by any competent authority, such amount or such criterion as a result of which such entity shall qualify as not forming part of the “public”.
(g)    No Assignment to Natural Persons.  No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person.

162    Sealed Air – 3rd A&R Syndicated Facility Agt





(i)    Certain Additional Payments.  In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Company and the Agent, the applicable Ratable Share of Advances previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent, each Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Bank and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full Ratable Share of all Advances and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Advances.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Agent pursuant to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Lender Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.15, 2.16, 8.05, 9.04, 9.05 and 9.08 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c)(iii) of this Section.
(j)    Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Company or the Agent, sell to one or more commercial banks or other financial institutions (each of such commercial banks and other financial institutions being herein called a “Participant”) participating interests in any of its Advances, its Commitment, or other interests of such Lender hereunder, including participations pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement; provided that:
(i)    no participation contemplated in this Section 9.07(j) shall relieve such Lender from its Commitment(s) or its other obligations hereunder;


163    Sealed Air – 3rd A&R Syndicated Facility Agt





(ii)    such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its Commitment(s) and such other obligations;
(iii)    the Company and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents;
(iv)    no Participant, unless such Participant is an Affiliate of such Lender, shall be entitled to require such Lender to take or refrain from taking any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document, except that such Lender may agree with any Participant that such Lender will not, without such Participant’s consent, take any actions of the type described in clause (a) or (c) of Section 9.01;
(v)    no Borrower shall be required to pay any amount under Sections 2.12 and 2.15 that is greater than the amount which it would have been required to pay had no participating interest been sold and no Borrower shall be required to pay any amount under Section 2.15 unless such Participant has complied with Section 2.15(e) and (f) as if it were a Lender; and
(vi)    each Lender that sells a participation under this Section 9.07(j) shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non‐fiduciary agent of the Company, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and rights to payment of stated interest on) each of the Participant’s interest in the Lender’s Advances, Commitments or other interests hereunder (the “Participant Register”).  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes hereunder.  No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Advance, Commitment, or other interest is in registered form for United States federal tax purposes.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
The Company acknowledges and agrees that each Participant, for purposes of Sections 2.12 and 2.15 only, shall be considered a Lender.
(k)    Each Loan Party incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg expressly accepts and confirms for the purposes of article 1281 and article 1278 of the Luxembourg civil code that, notwithstanding any assignment and/or transfer made pursuant to this Agreement, any guarantee given by it and any security interest created under the Loan Documents to which it is a party, shall be preserved for the benefit of any new Lender or Participant.
SECTION 9.08    Confidentiality.  Each of the Agent and the Lender Parties agree to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to 


164    Sealed Air – 3rd A&R Syndicated Facility Agt





whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self‐regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners); (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party hereto; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to any (i)  assignee in, or prospective assignee in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, (ii) Participant or prospective Participant or (iii) actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Company and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder; (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the Company or its Subsidiaries or the Advances or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Advances; (h) with the consent of the Company; (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section, or (y) becomes available to any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Company; (j) to any credit insurance provider relating to the Borrowers and their Obligations (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); or (k) to market data collectors and similar service providers to the lending industry (the Information that may be disclosed to be limited, for purposes of this clause (k), to the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement).  For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that, in the case of information received from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential.  Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
SECTION 9.09    Designated Borrower. 
(a)    The Company may at any time, (i) in the case of any Domestic Subsidiary, upon at least ten Business Days’ prior notice from the Company to the Agent and (ii) in the case of any Foreign Subsidiary, at least 15 Business Days’ prior notice from the Company to the Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Agent in its sole discretion), designate any Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Company (an “Applicant Borrower”) as a Designated Borrower to receive Loans hereunder by delivering to the Agent (which shall promptly deliver counterparts thereof to each Lender) a duly executed notice and agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit I.

received such supporting resolutions, incumbency certificates, opinions of counsel and other documents or information, including all documentation and other information required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Patriot Act and, in the case of any Applicant Borrower that qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, a Beneficial Ownership Certification in relation to such Applicant Borrower to any Lender that so requests, in each case form, content and scope reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, as may be required by the Agent or such Lenders in their sole discretion, and Notes signed by such new Borrowers to the extent any of such Lenders so require. If the Agent and, with respect only to a putative Borrower (x) under a Facility under which Borrowings of any Foreign Currency may be made or (y) that is an entity organized or formed outside of the United States of America, each Lender under such Facility, approve (in each case its sole discretion) an Applicant Borrower and agree that an Applicant Borrower shall be entitled to receive Loans hereunder, then promptly following receipt of all such requested resolutions, incumbency certificates, opinions of counsel and other documents or information (provided, that if the Agent shall have already reasonably recently received any such required information or corporate formality with respect to an Applicant Borrower, then the Agent may, in its sole discretion, waive the delivery of such information or corporate formality which would otherwise be required pursuant hereto), the Agent shall send a notice in substantially the form of Exhibit J to the Company and the Lenders specifying the effective date upon which the Applicant Borrower shall constitute a Designated Borrower for purposes hereof, whereupon each of the Lenders agrees to permit such Designated Borrower to receive Loans hereunder, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and each of the parties agrees that such Designated Borrower otherwise shall be a Borrower for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that no Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Application may be submitted by or on behalf of such Designated Borrower until the date five Business Days after such effective date.  Upon the effectiveness of the designation of any Designated Borrower pursuant to this Section 9.09, such Designated Borrower shall be deemed to be a Transpacific Revolver Borrower, Multicurrency Revolver Borrower and/or Borrower for purposes of any other Facility, as specified by the Company and the Agent in the notices delivered pursuant to Exhibit I and Exhibit J and, in any event, subject to the consent of the applicable Lenders in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.  In addition, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect such designation, and any such deemed amendment may be memorialized in writing by the Agent and the Company and furnished to the other Persons then party to this Agreement. 
(b)    The Obligations of the Company and each Designated Borrower that is a Domestic Subsidiary shall be joint and several in nature.  The Obligations of all Designated Borrowers that are Foreign Subsidiaries shall be several in nature.  
(c)    Each Subsidiary of the Company that is or becomes a “Designated Borrower” pursuant to this Section 9.09 hereby irrevocably appoints the Company as its agent for all purposes relevant to this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, including (i) the giving and receipt of notices, (ii) the execution and delivery of all documents, instruments and certificates contemplated herein and all modifications hereto, and (iii) the receipt of the proceeds of any Loans made by the Lenders to any such Designated Borrower hereunder.  Any acknowledgment, consent, direction, certification or other action which might otherwise be valid or effective only if given or taken by all Borrowers, or by each Borrower acting singly, shall be valid and effective if given or taken only by 


166    Sealed Air – 3rd A&R Syndicated Facility Agt





the Company, whether or not any such other Borrower joins therein.  Any notice, demand, consent, acknowledgement, direction, certification or other communication delivered to the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been delivered to each Designated Borrower.
(d)    The Company may from time to time, upon not less than 10 Business Days’ notice from the Company to the Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Agent in its sole discretion), terminate a Designated Borrower’s status as such, provided that there are no outstanding Loans payable by such Designated Borrower, or other amounts payable by such Designated Borrower on account of any Loans made to it, as of the effective date of such termination.  The Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such termination of a Designated Borrower’s status.
SECTION 9.10    Governing Law.  THIS AGREEMENT AND THE NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK’S GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW.
SECTION 9.11    Execution in Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement.
SECTION 9.12    Judgment.  If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.  The obligation of each Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency.  If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Agent or any Lender from any Borrower in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss.  If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Agent or any Lender in such currency, the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

SECTION 9.13    Jurisdiction, Etc.  (a)  Each Borrower and each other Loan Party irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not commence any action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Agent, any Lender or any Related Party of the foregoing in any way relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions relating hereto or thereto, in any forum other than any New York State court sitting in New York County, and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court sitting in New York County, and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Notes, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court.  Each Borrower hereby agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding brought in the any such New York State court or in such federal court may be made upon the Company at its offices specified in Section 9.02(a) and each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Company its authorized agent to accept such service of process, and agrees that the failure of the Company to give any notice of any such service shall not impair or affect the validity of such service or of any judgment rendered in any action or proceeding based thereon.  Each Borrower hereby further irrevocably consents to the service of process in any action or proceeding in such courts by the mailing thereof by any parties hereto by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such Borrower at its address specified pursuant to Section 9.02(a).  Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.  Other than with respect to actions brought by or against the Mexican Revolver Borrower or any other Loan Party organized in Mexico (whose submission to jurisdiction shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be exclusive to the parties involved), nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the Notes in the courts of any jurisdiction.  To the extent that any Borrower or Designated Borrower has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, each Borrower and each Designated Borrower hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Agreement.
(b)    Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any right to any other jurisdiction that it may have by reason of domicile or any other reason and objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any New York State or federal court.  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

168    Sealed Air – 3rd A&R Syndicated Facility Agt





multi‐national authority, this Agreement (including, without limitation, the definitions of Eurocurrency Rate and TIIE Rate) will be amended to the extent determined by the Agent (acting reasonably and in consultation with the Company) to be necessary to reflect the change in currency and to put the Lenders and the Borrowers in the same position, so far as possible, that they would have been in if no change in such Foreign Currency had occurred;
(b)    If a judgment or order made by any court for the payment of any amount in respect of any Obligations of a Loan Party under, or with respect to, this Agreement or the Advances is expressed in a currency other than the currency that such Advances were originally funded in, the Borrowers and the Domestic Loan Parties will indemnify the Lenders against any deficiency arising from any variation in rates of exchange between the date as of which the denomination currency is notionally converted into the judgment currency for the purposes of the judgment or order and the date of actual payment; provided that the Agent and the Lenders shall reimburse the relevant Loan Party if there is any excess amount arising from any variation in rates of exchange between the date as of which the denomination currency is notionally converted into the judgment currency for the purposes of the judgment or order and the date of actual payment.   
SECTION 9.15    No Liability of the Issuing Banks.  None of the Agent, the Lenders nor any Issuing Bank, nor any of their Affiliates, or the respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors of such Person or such Affiliate, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder, or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to the applicable Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by such Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof or any failure to honor a Letter of Credit where such Issuing Bank is, under applicable law, required to honor it.  The parties hereto expressly agree that, as long as the Issuing Bank has not acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct, such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination.  In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, an Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.
